SUBJECT: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR A
rF PORTION OF THE POLYTECHNIC HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD
The February 11 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for
a portion of the Polytechnic Heights neighborhood. The purpose of the proposed zoning
changes is to rezone residential and non-residential property to zoning classifications that
reflect the prevailing land use and are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. For
your reference, the attached PowerPoint presentation shows the future land use from the
2013 Comprehensive Plan, the current zoning, and the proposed zoning. Council Member
Allen-Gray would like to initiate rezoning of this area in response to neighborhood concerns.
An informational meeting for the Polytechnic Heights neighborhood was held on January 14,
2014, which was attended by area property owners and staff. At this meeting, the property
owners expressed support for the proposed zoning changes. No one in opposition has
been noted to date.
Public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held by the Zoning
Commission on March 12, 2014, and by the City Council on April 1, 2014.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and
Development Director, at 817-392-8018.
